..With respect to left hemispace, participants showed the reverse pattern. This pattern of hand use indicates an important role for the nonpreferred hand, which has been relatively unexplored by researchers...

..More specifically, the adults showed a much smaller performance difference between the hands than the other age groups. The results are discussed in light of current theories of the development of hand preference and manual asymmetry...

Influences of task complexity, object location, and object type on hand selection in reaching in left and right-handed children and adults

..Using an object resulted in significantly more preferred-hand reaches than picking up an object. Furthermore, task complexity, object location, and object type interacted with each other depending upon age group and hand preference...

Pushing the limits of task difficulty for the right and left hands in manual aiming

..This indicates the willingness of left-handers to use their non-preferred (i.e., right) hand. One possible explanation supported by these results is that left-handers have adapted to an environment designed for right-handers...

The effects of skill demands and object position on the distribution of preferred hand reaches

..This effect was mediated by the position of the object in hemispace, with more right hand reaches occurring for the Use task in left hemispace than the other tasks, in support of our previous work...

Preliminary examination of oral contraceptive use among university-aged females

..g. maximizing effectiveness and safety). Preliminary analysis indicated that females may not be equipped with adequate knowledge or receiving the necessary support to practice the most efficacious behaviours surrounding pill use...

The relationship between the grooved pegboard test and clinical motor symptom evaluation across the spectrum of Parkinson's disease severity

..One way to promote higher levels of physical activity to youth is through school-based government policies. The current review examines evaluation of school-based physical activity policies for youth over the past 10 years...
